Mobile ticket
The classic shot of Li River is the one called "fishing lights on the Li River", together with sunrise or sunset. In the past, local fishermen paddled their bamboo raft and went fishing on the Li River as night falls. A magical scene appears when the river is dotted with fishing lights. It's a scene that shows an intimate relationship between human and nature.
Highlights:
1. Enjoy the Sunset of the 20RMB note area.
2. take the photos with fishermen on bamboo rafts or even with the fishing birds.
Note: If you want to book this tour ONE day before, you'd better check with us if has a Fisherman available or not, due to sometimes the fishing man is fully booked, thank you.

5.00Andy (the tour guide) was very accommodating and friendly. We spent two days with him and he was very flexible in terms of scheduling and itinerary. It rained the first day when we were supposed to climb Xianggong Mountain for a sunrise hike so he took us to Cuiping Hill to see the sunset instead. He didn't rush us, and is a very easygoing person. He's also a really good driver so you can rest assured. We highly recommend him for your Guilin and Zhangjiajie tours!

5.00We did the Longji Rice Terrace and sunset with fisherman combo tour. Our guide Jacky was knowledgeable, helpful, and had good and timely communication. We especially enjoyed the sunset photography with fisherman tour by Li River. The Longji Rice Terrace area was a bit over commercialized and less enjoyable. Overall good trip and tour guide. Would recommend this company.
